Chapter 316: Xi'an County Customs
"Today is New Year's Eve, and everyone is busy celebrating the New Year at home. There are probably few people on the street." There are even many shops closed, so what's fun?
Ye Chunhua said with a smile on her face, "I asked Grandma Chen in the morning. Grandma Chen said that not far from here, there is a West Lake Park. Some young men and ladies like to go to West Lake to enjoy a boat during the Chinese New Year. We walked through the street in front, so we went shopping and West Lake Park to enjoy it. By the way, I grew up so old that I have never seen what a boat looks like. Xiaoyou, please accompany me to see it?"
Chunhua looked at her with a gaze, making Ye Youran feel embarrassed to refuse to agree.
After dinner, she called Li Xiugu, Si Niang, Mama Du and others to go out to play. When a group of people passed by the front yard, they also met Wei Zijin, Ye Dashi, and Luo Chen and other ten guards. So more than a dozen people were added to the team going out for a stroll.
A team of more than twenty people went out to the streets in a mighty manner.
However, on the street, as she expected, there were very few people opening doors to do business, most shops were closed, and only the restaurants and inns were still open.
Everyone felt disappointed, so they asked Wei Zijin to lead the way and went to West Lake Park.
There were many people in the park, all of whom were joking with young men and women, and everyone was holding something in their hands. Ye Youran asked Wei Zijin curiously, "Wei Zijin, why are each of them holding an origami flower in their hands?"
Yes, everyone has an origami flower in their hands, including big red peony flowers, bright red azaleas, pink peach blossoms, yellow cesium chrysanthemums, red roses... everything is available.
Wei Zijin looked at her with a smile, "Ranran, Xi'an County has always had a custom, that on New Year's Eve, some unmarried young girls would come to Xihu Park to play, saying that they were playing, but in fact they were choosing their partner. As long as they liked it, they would give the flowers in their hands to the other party. After the other party took it, they would give their flowers to the other party. After the two exchanged love flowers, the marriage would be settled. If they didn't liked it, they would not be able to pick up the other party's flowers."
"Legends have been said that many years ago, a god who came down from heaven met his destined wife here. The god picked a flower from the park and gave it to the other party as a token of love. Later, after the marriage between the two was completed, the god saw that the flower was gradually withering, so he used divine methods to turn the flower into a paper flower. The paper flower will never wither, just like their love, forever."
"This legend is very beautiful. After the god brought his wife back to heaven, this West Lake Park became a blind date in Xi'an County, and the day when the god and his wife went to heaven became the annual blind date in Xi'an County."
Wei Zijin gently told Ye Youran what she knew.
Ye Youran's eyes widened in shock, "Do you know that Xi'an County has this custom and bring us here. What if someone sends flowers?"
They are all settled for marriage. What if... they make a joke?
Wei Zijin laughed, "What are you worried about? Are you worried about a young man who will give you flowers?"
Ye Youran was ridiculed and hummed in anger, saying proudly, "You are not worried. I am worried about what to do. If a young man really gives me flowers, I have to consider whether it is time to change to a fiancé."
